About the drawings practice:
1 presence
.I am drawing from the inside of my energy (chi) putting this into the space around my body and then drawing it back -- so that the lines are lines of flight or lines of energy connecting my physical presence-ing with the energy force fields of the landscape itself. I am cradling spaces around me like a cats cradle of strings or tentacle-extension.
2 score
Drawing is scoring. Drawing is not totally an optical (looking ) process. Lines are a calligraphy or set of moves. These moves search through a space that cannot be reached physically (like a psychic space, a memory space, a dream space) and at the same time root in the real site. I am following the moment to moment of each 'next ' thought/move in the score.
3 trace
Thanks to the general theory of relativity we accept that time and space are folded together: they are really the same...so we can account for the strange aura or residues of presence that we feel in certain landscapes. The drawings are open fields of improvisation involving elements of trace or residue of iterative, propellant, and repetitive layers.
